In case the spelling of the title didn’t clue you in, this is not yet another addition to the catalogue of tired songs that pander to the video-sharing app.
Instead, Joji has time on the mind, or the lack thereof. Over a downtempo guitar-based beat from producer West1ne, he regretfully discusses the little time that he has to allocate for that special someone in his new lifestyle, lamenting “I wish you were here with me now so I could feel some/I wish you were here to hold me down like a real one.”
The new video harkens back to Joji’s days as a YouTuber and contrasts the melancholy sound with his playful personality as he eats his pain away and wanders around trying to forget the girl he’s singing about.
Joji – Tick Tock (prod. West1ne)

[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Tick-tock
Heavy like a Brink’s truck
Looking like I’m tip-top
Shining like a wristwatch
Time will grab your wrist
Lock it down ’til the thing pop
Can you stick around for a minute ’til the ring stop?
Please, God
Tick-tock
Heavy like a Brink’s truck
Looking like I’m tip-top
Shining like a wristwatch
Time will grab your wrist
Lock it down ’til the thing pop
Can you stick around for a minute ’til the ring stop?
Please, God
[Chorus]
As time keeps slipping away (Slipping away)
Girl, don’t start feeling a way (Feeling a way)
You and I, we are one in the same
Loving in pain, loving in (Loving in pain)
As time keeps slipping away (Slipping away)
Girl, don’t start feeling a way (Feeling a way)
You and I, we are one in the same
Loving in pain, loving in
[Verse 2]
Tick-tock
Gimme, gimme big bucks
That is all I do, girl
I just hit the jackpot
I wish you were here with me now so I could feel some
I wish you were here to hold me down like a real one, real one
Live long
Wanna be a big shot
Should’ve stayed away
But always had a weak spot
I’ve been on the road, and I’m sorry for the mix-up
If you still love me, can you see me during liftoff? (Liftoff)
[Chorus]
As time keeps slipping away (Slipping away)
Girl, don’t start feeling a way (Feeling a way)
You and I, we are one in the same
Loving in pain, loving in (Loving in pain)
As time keeps slipping away (Slipping away)
Girl, don’t start feeling a way (Feeling a way)
You and I, we are one in the same
Loving in pain, loving in
[Outro]
With my hands in the ocean
With my hands in the ocean
With my hands in the ocean, I pay
I pray, oh, I pray
